If I remember correctly it's up to the client program to set up the session, not something to do with the vendor's implementation. It's conceptually similar to how an HTTPS client performs a TLS handshake after opening a sock

That is not what the linked patent describes. In that patent, the base key in the hierarchy (the one created by the administrator, NOT the storage root of trust or SRK) is created outside the TPM and stored elsewhere, then imported and used
